I don't have any references handy (not my area of expertise), but it's often mentioned as an application area in articles dealing with these distributions. For instance, I guess physics models that uses Brownian motion models could use these distributions as they do show up in connection with Brownian motion theory. > > Honestly, I doubt most of the users of Commons Math will be needing this > kind of distribution, but I guess if we merge in (parts of) Colt, we might > end up attracting that kind of user. > As a matter of fact, many concepts in probability theory that at first sight may seem rather obscure can actually be used for practical applications. Stochastic modeling of the financial markets is a good example where very advanced mathematics is actually put to practical use. /FN --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
